Nice looking VX you've got there, you should chuck up some picks of the interior and engine bay.
How much did that set you back???
Hey Everyone. Thought I would finally Show My VX series 1
I have done no mods to the Engine. Bog standard as being a P Plater is will just get my in trouble one way or another. And Being a ex Bike rider, I dont see the point doing any engine mods as it wont compare to the 1000cc bikes i have rode lol Can any one make a vx do 0-100 in 3 seconds ? lol
Only Mods lol
19" Rims
2.5" Redback Cat back exhaust
And Put Cruise Control in from a VT
De-badged & Dash & Cluster painted + Door Handles in silver
Here it is

I may have broken the law, but that doesn't make it wrong!
I Paid 9,800 for it about a year and a bit back. Would not believe what some people will try and flog off. Saw a VT at the same time, wanted 11k for it, 300,000+ on it, bold tyres and list just goes on and on. So i thought it was a good deal, and i needed a car that day. Amazing how much they have dropped in price over the year, seeing them for 5-6k now. but usually trashed.
The bottom black strips were painted and also came with the rims and new tread :-)
Only thing was the water pump i had to replace a few months back but i did that my self for $100 bucks. too easy.
Heres a few more pics.
And My 19" Rims. I Don't know if they are HSV Copies due to the badge. Anyone know?

looks very nice and clean mate, the way its gotta be done
i think theyd be vz clubsport copies, i havent seen a hsv rims that looks like that mate.
looks very nice tho mate!
deff needs a set of kings superlows.
any more mods you have planned?
and keep the std taillights..looks way better.just incase u wer thinkin of it haha
Cheers mate, And yes i prefer the standard tail lights.
No more mods planed, As Me and mrs are planing on having kids. It has FE2 suspension so thats good enough for me & the big tyres for grip.
I would hope to one day though make it a sleeper. But the cost of fuel lol. As i am one that only runs premium fuel.
And for fun here is the mrs VR. I Have spent alot of time fixing it right up, Just the general serving etc, and a new IAC, but now it gets 700kms to a tank
I dont know how or why but why cant i get that out of the VX that has a bigger tank lol
Bought it for 2k from my brother as he moved away. bargain i think. only 190,000 on it and its still solid as a rock. She is questioned a lot as people think its my car as my brother put a 2.5 cat back on when he had it lol.

New Sticker hehe. Yes it is straight lol

The VX's dash looks great, a leather steering wheel and maybe a leather gear knob and hand brake lever would set it off nicely.
THought I would show off the New LEDs. Any thoughts welcome good or bad

hey looks neat like the new lights on the front and the jc sticker
Love the LED's.
lookin awesome dude, just need some white LEDs in the parkers to match the lights down bottom :P
Cheers guys.
Yep still been meaning to get to that as well as 4500K headlights to match. But cash flow low lol
sweet man... id go for 6000k if i were you though, as the difference ive noticed between the 2 are huge.. as i got a set in my VY and its great, cops havent said anything about them and ive had a few look it over... but yeh man when you get the cash grab a set of 6000k instead.. and then a set of 55watter hi beams and youll BBQ anything that comes out in front of ya hehe
we are talking HID lights aren't we? lol
nice car man.needs to be dumped though.
not bad mate
Hey Guys, Have Finally Ditched the Mrs VR, She Now has my VX, I now have a VY Wagon :-)

I Think they are the easiest to clean lol, and when they fade and scratch its not as bad as a coloured car lol
Heres a Better Shot of the New Baby lol

Very nice car mate, not sure on the front grill, better in black imo. But looks a real good find, what did it set you back and any plans for it?

Aww dude! I liked the VX!
hahah.
A few thoughts:
-Those LEDs look wicked, never seen anything like that on a VX before. (I might go get some green ones, to match my parker LEDs)
-Pity you cant drop it to Superlows :/
-The silver interior looks mint. My whole family reckon it looks silly, but screw them, it makes it look heaps more modern and stylish ey.
Last thought: Keep the VX, and get the VZ rolling on some mods (:
